Continuing Quilting

This the fifth day of quilting. Maybe tomorrow it will be done.

Before I started quilting on this quilt, I worked on this piece of art cloth. It was quite fun to experiment with ways to make images. I used a piece of construction fencing or temporary fencing I talked the manager of Home Depot in cutting off a big roll that you were suppose to buy the whole thing. It was $29. and I only needed a couple of feet. I am sure he hadn't heard of using this fence to paint with, but he was very nice and humored me. It is plastic so you can wipe the paint off of it afterward. I used setacolor and extender and sponges. Then I used a piece of screen, foam circles(another Home Depot expenditure...foam for insulating pipes) and then my absolutely favorite the feet of my egg masher. Now doesn't that sound like a real adventure?

Screening

These are the pieces that I used at the workshop to try out my new screens which we made at the workshop.

This one I used setacolor paint with my screen.
This one I screened with discharge paste and then mixed discharge with setacolor and then also tried mixing extender with setacolor. These were pieces of muslin that I had dyed with procion dyes.
